Why Does Everyone Hate Lebron James?

 When Lebron James came into the league, he was considered the Chosen One. Before he could shoot at an NBA basket everyone was anointing him as the greatest of all time. Now those were some lofty goals to achieve and from it he took a lot of heat. The bad part it was not of his doing it was mostly press clippings that people wrote about James. Let's take a closer look at the hatred of Lebron James and why it still persists today.

Lebron James was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers and given the job to win them a championship. Everyone thought with James it would happen quickly, but it did not work out that way. James pulled his weight, but a championship eluded him earlier in his career. After some time he decided he needed to go play somewhere else and moved on to Miami. Cleveland fans took it very hard and burned his jerseys and so the hatred began. 

In Miami, he enjoyed some success winning championships, but the hatred seems to grow for him. He did not like the perception he was giving out and eventually went back to Cleveland. He was welcomed back, but not everyone was receptive to him coming back. He did finally fulfill his dream and get the Cavaliers and the City Of Cleveland a Championship. People thought he would retire as a Cavalier, but James had other ideas. He eventually decided he wanted to play for the Los Angeles Lakers so the hatred grew so more.

In Los Angeles, he has won a championship, but for the most part, it has been a struggle. LeBron James has always just wanted people to appreciate his talent and his ability on the court. The hatred just seems to grow with him and he has helped it grow as well. People never want to see their idols get passed by someone else and that is what James is trying to do. It happens in every sport and will continue to as well.

In the end, we should enjoy the time we have Lebron James and his great talent. He is a rare player that does not come along all the time. Like him or hate him you cannot dispel how talented he is and what a great basketball player he has become over the years.

Have We Seen The Last Of Tom Brady?

 Tom Brady has had a career no one ever thought he would, so you cannot blame him if he decides to walk away. After last night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, many people think he just does not have it anymore. I'm not in that thinking at all. Tampa Bay's offense had a lot of issues and you cannot lie that all at Tom Brady's lap. Have we seen the last of Tom Brady? Let's take a closer look at what he could do in the future.

First and foremost retirement is an option as he does have a big fat contract with Fox Sports he could go to right now. I do not see Brady doing that though, as he still loves the game of football and wants to go out as a winner, not a loser. Will Brady return to the Bucs? Do not look for Brady to return to Tampa Bay as they have too many issues and he does not want to deal with them at his age.

There are a few teams that make sense for Tom Brady. He wants a team that he can help lead that is talented and ready to win a Super Bowl. He wants to be that missing piece that they need. If Brady can find the perfect fit look for Brady to play for another team before he retires. If he does get lucky enough to get to another Super Bowl I think that will be the last ride for him. He wants to go out on top and he will chase that dream until he cannot play any longer.

Brewers Going Down On The Farm

 As the Brewers baseball faithful watch, all MLB teams sign players Milwaukee sits by the wayside with their wallets zipped up tightly. If you are waiting for the Brewers to sign a big name to a big contract you might as well wait for your lottery ticket to hit as well. Milwaukee is not going to be a spender in free agency this off-season. They will be going farming in 2023 to fill out the Brewers roster.

What is farming you may ask? It’s simply relying on the Minor Leagues to fill out your roster. Milwaukee has some talent they have been grooming for the last few years. Those are the players that Milwaukee will be counting on to lead them to the playoffs in 2023. Many Brewers fans may not have heard of these players, but if they perform well Milwaukee would have made the correct decision.



Was this the right decision for Milwaukee and its fans? I guess only time will tell if it was a good decision. Good decision or bad Brewers fans should be used to ownership not spending a lot of money in free agency. Maybe this one time it will work out, but only time will tell.

Aaron Judge Betting On Himself Turns Down 230 Million Dollar Contract Extension From Yankees

 Aaron Judge was hoping for a contract extension getting done before the season got started, but it did not happen. The Yankees offered around 230 million dollars, but apparently Judge was looking for more. Judge is betting on himself and he could win out or lose out on alot of money and this is why.

Judge is a talented player and has proved to be a very good hitter and outfielder for the Yankees. The problem is he has had a history on injuries throughout his career as well. If he gets hurt again this year he may find it tough to get an offer like the Yankees offered him. The Yankees outfielder is betting on himself to stay healthy and have a great season to get top dollar. Thats a risky bet in my opinion. When you get a chance to get good money you take it when it is offered.

I can understand what Judge is doing and it may work out for him. It could also go south for him as well. I guess we will have to wait and see how this all plays out in the end. The Yankees could decide to save the money and go in a different direction or offer less if Judge has a subpar season in 2022 or is injured.

The 2022 MLB Season Could Be A Wild One

 Baseball is back and I think 2022 will be one wild season. There are so many storylines Baseball Blogging Network will be following this season. New York will be a battle this season as both The Mets and The Yankees want top be called King of New York. Will be interesting to see how that plays out this season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers keep adding to their impressive lineup and they have to be one of the favorites to win the World Series this season. Will the Milwaukee Brewers finally make it to the Big Game? They have the pitching to do it, but will the hitting come along as well. We will have to wait and see how it works out for them.

Justin Verlander should be back this season and how about the DH. Will the DH make a real difference this season? There are so many teams that if they get hot at the right time could be a October surprise for the Dodgers or anyone else. This 2022 should be fun to watch so pull up a seat and enjoy the fun.

What Team Gives Baker Mayfield The Best Chance For Success

 The one thing we can say about Baker Mayfield is you either love him to death or hate him just as much. We do know Mayfield will not be the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns this upcoming season. Where could Baker Mayfield land? Is he the next Johnny Manziel or another first round bust. Let's look at some of these questions and how we see it here at Baseball Blogging Network.

One of the things I've been hearing which is so wrong and that is Baker Mayfield is a bust. He is far from that and here is why. He had some good seasons in Cleveland. They were not his best, but they were not terrible either. People have to consider many factors when evaluating Baker Mayfield as a quarterback. Yes when he was healthy he was a Top10 quarterback in the NFL. Unhealthy and he was like most quarterbacks he was not very good.

Where could Baker Mayfield take his next snaps at? Some people are hinting once cut he could be with the Detroit Lions or the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both teams have shown interest in him and either one probably could work for Mayfield. If Mayfield wants to see his full potential he may need to be a backup for a year or two. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a perfect landing spot for him and here is why.

Mayfield would be able to learn from Tom Brady for one or two seasons. The experience he would get from this is invaluable to him becoming a better player. The Buccaneers have the team in place that could plug Mayfield in and he could be an instant success. Offensively, the Buccaneers have talented receivers with one of the best offensive lines. They have a great offensive coaches with Byron Leftwich leading the way.

Baker Mayfield has to check his ego at the door and become a team player, but once he does once Tom Brady retires the keys to the team will be his. The question is can Baker Mayfield sit and learn from the master.
